Sticker Stickieness

so you know how some people like to put a sticker on their dash like, "because race car" , or "shut up i f**king got this". well i did and then i figured out that i hated it and wanted to put a new one, well when i tore it off it left a really nasty glue on the dash and i don't want to put something on there that will ruin the stock appearance, what do i do?!?! i will post a picture in a little while

I find that 99% isopropyl alcohol works better than goo gone

WD-40 will remove goo..........then you'll have to clean off the WD-40 but it won't hurt anything. Clean that off with alcohol.

vinegar , WD-40 , Goo Gone , IPA , Avon Skin So Soft will all do the job.

test in an inconspicuous area first..... behind the panel on the passenger side should be fine, because the dash material extends to behind the silver/black panel above the glove box...

Oh, now you have to share what you had on the dash. I promise I won't flame too much.
